A stabbing incident at Treadwell Middle School in Memphis left one boy wounded and another male detained yesterday afternoon, sparking an investigation by the Memphis Police Department. The event unfolded at around 3:20 p.m. at the school situated on 920 North Highland Street.

According to Action News 5, the child who was stabbed has been hospitalized with non-critical injuries at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital. As MPD pieces together the scene, they have detained a male, though his identity, whether a child or an adult, remains unconfirmed by the police department at this time.

Local Memphis reports that response to the 'wounding' was prompt after the call came into MPD. Officials have yet to release detailed information regarding the circumstances surrounding the stabbing or the current condition of the victim beyond the non-critical classification given initially.
